Booked for Funeral

David was very professional , well presented and accommodating to our needs.We hired him for a family member's funeral. He even learnt to play their favourite song, which was so touching for us on the day . Couldn't have asked for more from him, would highly recommend !

Booked for Wedding

An excellent piper who made the day special - there were a few other guests at the wedding who also play the pipes - and they rated her playing highly so I go with their comments - (as I am no expert!) She was in full dress kilt in the scorching heat (27 degrees) - so not an ideal environment for her - and bravely battled on in the heat until the agreed time - whereas many others would have wilted and given up.

Booked for Birthday party

Andrew was excellent. He communicated well before the event to discuss song options and the venue. He socially distanced at the venue and played beautifully. We requested Andrew for my father in laws 80th, and everyone was moved to tears. Andrew looked and sounded the part. We would highly recommend Andrew to anyone who wants a piper and would certainly use him again in the future.

Booked for Birthday party

We hired Alan to help celebrate our mum’s 90th birthday. Alan was a pleasure to deal with and he helped make it a special day, with some great tunes on the bagpipes, including ‘happy birthday’ and others that brought a little (happy) tear to our eyes. Being in the current lockdown situation, we were so grateful that he could do this for us (safely). A true professional at a very reasonable cost. Thank you, mum was so happy!

Booked for Corporate Function

We were all delighted to have Mairi with us last night! She played beautifully and really made our event special. As soon as she arrived, she was keen to do whatever she could to help and happy to fit in with everything that we asked of her. She also took a genuine interest in what we were trying to achieve and in the people who came along. By the end of the evening, she was very much 'one of us'! We look forward to seeing her again.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
